Another Stamp Company

Back from Maryland

Hey Everyone,

We just got back from spending a long Thanksgiving weekend at my sister-in-laws house in Maryland.  We all had a great time!  Lots of food, fun, rest and best of all spending time with all the family.

One thing I usually try to do when ever we get together is some kind of project.  The project for this weekend was using the LuminArte powder for Christmas balls.  I don't carry the powder in my store any more but you can get it from their web site LuminArte.  Here are some pictures of the project:

This is just before we started.  There is about 100 powders to choose from.

Here we are busy at work picking out the colors we like:
 
Here are some of the finished balls.  We all chose are best one. 

Happy Stampings,

Maria
 

What a day...

I'm trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, even though we are spending it at my Sister-in laws house there is still lots to do. 

Shopping at Costco, nails, doctor appointment and then my husband (John) and I went out to dinner for our 24th anniversary.

Well...when we got home John asked me if I would make a Happy Thanksgiving card for our neighbor so I went upstairs and started to work on one.  It's a simple card but I thought it turned out pretty good.  The Cornucopia and Happy Thanksgiving are embossed with black embossing powder and colored with markers.

  
After finishing the card I decided to finish the inchies for an inchie swap I signed up for.  It was 9 inchies and 3 of each design but I always make extra.  The Snowman has Stickles all over, the Postage Ornament has Glossy Accents over the ball and the Santa has Liquid Applique on the beard and coat, the Charlie tree has Glossy Accents on the balls.

  Here is the Happy Anniversary card I made for John.  The Roses were colored with markers on the stamp then I spritz water on the stamp, the vase was embossed with gold embossing powder.  The Happy Anniversary was embossed with clear embossing ink and clear embossing powder.

 Happy Stampings!

Acrylic Pin

hey everyone...

Finally decided to start my blog.  I just got an email requesting the instructions for making the acrylic pins I demo at all the conventions.  I started to write out the directions but then I thought maybe I could video tape it.  So I hooked up my camera to this stand I had and made my video.  Here it is:

 

The stamps I used were Sunrise, Color Your Life and the Acrylic Piece all from Another Stamp Company  The Alcohol Inks, Archival Ink Pad and Accent Pen are Ranger Industries.

Let me know what you think and how I did.
